Summary
This case study details NEC XON's implementation of Silverfort to enhance their identity protection measures. The organization faced significant challenges regarding visibility into user authentication flows and the lack of multi-factor authentication (MFA) for their homegrown applications. With over 550 users and a presence in 54 African countries, NEC XON prioritized cybersecurity to mitigate risks associated with identity-based attacks and lateral movement. The deployment of Silverfort provided real-time visibility into authentication processes and allowed for the implementation of MFA across critical legacy applications. The case study outlines how NEC XON established strategic access-based policies to block lateral movement attacks, enhancing their overall security posture. It also highlights the cost-effectiveness of Silverfort's solution, which reportedly decreased operational costs by 300% compared to in-house efforts. The partnership with Silverfort is positioned as a vital step in addressing identity protection gaps in the market, demonstrating NEC XON's commitment to improving security for their clients.
